Topic: Blur scalings

[jd.]

A quick note to begin with: I was going to reply to this post, but the board told me the post was quite old and maybe I should start a new one.

So, the original question was, what does the Increase Blur (per +5 increase) that costs 4PP increase exactly? Let me propose options. Does it increase:

• the bonus to DB,
• the bonus to Stalk & Hide,
• both,
• one that the caster must choose when scaling, possibly splitting sseveral scalings between the two,
• something else?

Various interesting answers were given, but none that seemed official.

And my further question is, does the Blur Other (1 target, range of touch) that costs 4PP mean you can affect:

• only one other target that you are touching,
• any number of targets provided you spend 4PP for each and are touching all of them,
• any number of targets provided you spend 4PP for each and you or another target are touching all of them, forming a continuous chain/tree/net,
• yet another option?

Thank you for your attention, and may your DPs never run out.

Link corrected.... running out for a bit, but I'll post a response for you shortly.

I personally read it as the caster chooses when scaling which one gets the increase and that it is only one other target that you are touching

[Thom @ ICE]

Increase Blur increases ALL bonuses from the Blur spell by +5.

A single scaling using Increase Blur has a PP cost of 8 (PP4 base + 4 scaling) and results in -
Causes caster’s form to appear blurred, granting +15 to DB. This also provides a +10 bonus to Stalk & Hide Maneuvers.


Blur Others costs 4PP to convey Blur on 1 additional person.  You can cast it on many (4PP each) as long as you are in physical contact with each individual.  They can all touch you, but it must be direct contact with the caster.  Chains/Nets/Trees will not work.

Great! A simple, accurate and official answer. What more could I ask for?

Thank you very much!

But beware, I might do that stray cat thing and come back with more questions again and again and again...

Any time.  You are most welcome.
Glad I could help.
